Chapter 16: The Trip in Memory (3)
Ah Xin: They have been playing card games until almost eleven o'clock, and they still have a sense of unfinished, why! Because the card game "Run Fast" is simple and easy to understand, quick to learn, and there are all kinds of ways to play.
When playing, you can also add a variety of punishment methods, and Ah Xin thinks it's quite interesting.
Anyway, this girl is a little too stupid, please allow Ah Xin to bury a pit here, and it will be explained later.
Ah Xin gives everyone a piece of advice, don't play cards for money, then there will be no fun, and it will be easy to destroy the feelings and friendships between friends.
The nights are always so wonderful, but also so difficult. Knowing why? It's wonderful to have someone to accompany you, and it's hard to endure without one. See for yourself.
Ah Xin's itinerary for the next day is to arrange to go to the ancient city of Suzhou to play, how to say that sentence: come to Suzhou, do not go to the ancient city, it means that you have come in vain.
Ah Xin believes that the soul of Suzhou lies in the ancient city, and Suzhou without the ancient city area is not Suzhou.
The ancient city of Suzhou, with an area of 14.2 square kilometers, was one of the big cities in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times. In 514 B.C., King Wu Lu ordered Wu Zixu to build the city, more than 2,500 years, the city site has not become rare in the world.
It is one of the earliest cities in China. It was successively the capital of the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu, the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu (early period), and the Yuan Dynasty peasant regime Zhou.
Suzhou was the political center of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the political and economic center of Jiangnan during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, which Sima Qian called "a metropolis in Jiangdong" (Sima Qian's Historical Records: The Biography of the Goods and Colonies).
The Tang Dynasty was the only Xiongzhou in the south of the Yangtze River; during the Song Dynasty, the national economic center of gravity shifted southward, and Lu You called "Su Chang (Zhou) is familiar, and the world is full" (Lu You's "Running Ox Sluice Record"), and the Song people then praised it as "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below", and Suzhou was "the southeast crown of majestic scenery";
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became one of the national economic and cultural centers of "clothing in the world";
Cao Xueqin praised Suzhou in "Dream of Red Mansions" as "the first class of wealth and elegance in the red dust".
The location of the ancient city of Suzhou has not changed to this day, and compared with the Song Dynasty's "Pingjiang Map" (the earliest existing city plan in China), the overall framework, backbone water system, roads and bridges are basically the same, which is rare in the world.
Suzhou is also the most exquisite city in China, and the ancient city basically maintains the unique style of "parallel water and land, adjacent rivers and streets" in ancient times, the river system of "three verticals, three horizontals and one ring", and the unique style of "small bridges and flowing water, pink walls and tiles, and famous historical sites and gardens".
In the ancient city, there are 82 kilometers of rivers and 314 bridges in the Song Dynasty, 58 kilometers of rivers and 241 bridges in the late Qing Dynasty, 35.28 kilometers of existing rivers and 168 bridges, which is the water town city with the longest river and the most bridges in the country, and is called the "Venice of the East" by Marco Polo, and the French Enlightenment thinker Montesquieu praised it as "a miracle workmanship".
No matter how much information Ah Xin copied from the Internet, he could not describe the "classical beauty" and "glamorous beauty" of the ancient city of Suzhou.
Only by yourself, to integrate into it, can you appreciate her "beauty and posture".
Ah Xin and Fang they, arrived at the ancient city at about seven o'clock, the ancient city at this time, is quiet and peaceful, if the time is late, there will be a large influx of tourists. It is recommended that when you go, go early.
In the morning of the streets of the ancient city, quiet and peaceful, small couples, holding hands, strolling together on the bluestone ancient road, listening to the ancient city wall, gently telling the voice of her long history. Let Ah Xin and Fang revel in it.
The ancient city of Suzhou is so unique, with the integration of modern architecture and classical architecture, and the integration is just right.
Ah Xin and Fang held hands and strolled through it, shuttling through the classical buildings, tasting her unique dim sum.
While admiring the traces of time on the ancient city wall.
These have brought a strong perspective to Ah Xin and Fang.
Ah Xin and Fang also got on the flower boat in the river and listened to the boatman's allusions to the ancient city of Suzhou. The boatman will tell you the famous quotes and allusions from history. It's like stepping into a long river of history. Beautiful!
Ah Xin and Fang, when they are tired of playing, they will walk into the ancient teahouse, appreciate the tea posture of the tea master, and taste the way of tea. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!
The sunset in the ancient city of Suzhou is also a good beauty!
As the sun set, Ah Xin took Fang's hand and strolled through the ancient alleys of the ancient city, enjoying the slow-paced lifestyle of the ancient city.
Ah Xin particularly likes this slow-paced lifestyle, but it often backfires.
Ah Xin basically goes to Suzhou for seven or eight days every month, but because he is too busy, he has been a long time, and he has not spent a day, even half a day in the ancient city, to appreciate her beauty and tranquility.
Originally, in the ancient city, there was an opera street, where there were many ancient operas. It doesn't exist now, I don't know why.
I don't know if you like ancient operas, like Kunqu Opera, Su Opera, Shanghai Opera, Baiju, Qin Opera, and Huangmei Opera.
At that time, Ah Xin and Fang saw many opera theaters on Xiqu Street. The above is only a small part, and at that time, it was very popular. It should be the current shopping street.
Fang likes these operas very much, and Ah Xin also likes them, like Huangmei Opera's "Tianxian Pei" excerpt "Husband and Wife Return Home" Fang likes it very much, and after Fang finished reading it, he rewarded 100 yuan.
It's impolite and wrong to watch a drama without rewarding, just like you who are reading a book now, it's impolite and wrong not to give a reward. Ha ha!
If you want to say that it brings a sense of shock to Ah Xin, it must be Qin Yan, who listened to an old artist at the time, presented an excerpt from "Peach Blossoms with a Human Face", in which the classic singing segment: In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
It was very touching to Ah Xin, and the hoarse and vicissitudes of singing were particularly shocking.
Later, Ah Xin watched Mr. Chen Daoming's movie "Peach Blossom with a Human Face". Knowing the old dialect of Mr. Wang Zhenzhong, it is called a must.
Ah Xin and Fang cried after listening to Qin Yan at that time, it was too shocking.
